Thread: TMF's "Baddest" Truck Mount & Set up on the Planet! TMF Custom Carpet Cleaning Builds now Available!

My new dilemma;

OK I am having the truck wrapped Thursday. It has been a difficult decision. Should I wrap it in TMF style or wrap it with my Drynclean carpet cleaning company theme? Here is the TMF design and you probably already know my Drynclean design by my van pictures below. Tough decision. The TMF wrap looks hot but the Drynclean design is more practical and will make me more money. What do you think??

Do the Dry-N-Clean. People are expecting a Dry-N-Clean truck to pull up because thats who they called. Plus it will do more for your business in terms of advertising.

hmmm that is a tough one Rob ( because I LOVE the tmf look) but,


TMF will grab Male customers (doesn't have that warm/clean/inviting look to women?)

Dry N Clean will capture a woman's attention more so?

I think anyway?

Just like your " is this tm acceptable " posts ...who are your prime customers? Women right?

Dry-N-Clean.

Even if you're using it for trade shows and stuff to promote TMF...you'll be slowly spreading the "Dry-N-Clean" name throughout our industry. So, when you later on decide to franchise out, everyone will already be familiar with the name.

Eh?

Thanks guys. I was just playing with ideas but my heart has always been with Drynclean. So of course Drynclean won out. Here are a few pics now that we are done. Video will be listed soon.

That is a cool looking truck.. The inside is very clean and nice!!!!

The Dry-N-Clean was a good choice, and it looks great!

I would have to agree - they called Dry n Clean - that is who should drive up!

Truck looks great!

Great job Rob!

I look forward to your video of running dual wands with your new rig.

So how are all this vids coming?

You mean I just read 9 pages of this thread and no video!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Hey Rob,

Need some input here... Aside from housing our large trucks in a warehouse, what do you have in place to warm the box in the rear? We've been beating our heads against the wall to heat our Vortex in the winter months. I've even looked into installing an entire heating unit from a small condo.

Thanks Ross. It's been a lot of fun.
Now the wand is a custom powder coat and then followed by air brushing. Customers and esp kids get a kick out of it.

HARD PIPING!

Though the old way was ok it presented and issue I could not live with. Hooking and unhooking waste tank or pump out hoses was a real pain. There was no way to stop dirty water from hitting the nice carpet and I can't live with odors in my truck,esp waste water.

So I hole sawed the floor and then hard piped the lines. Then I installed quick cuffs. I love it now! (Man now that I took the pics I see I put one cuff on uneven. Gonna go straighten that out cause old age may be setting in,lol.)

Today I'm gonna tackle the exhaust and run that through the floor also.

I like your thinking Kevin. Any suggestions of where I can get them?
